It wasn't cheap, but it was super easy to dispense at room temperature.

Flux transfer - success

The simplest way works best.

Flux transfer - 1st attempt

Not recommended. Sucking sucks.

Integrated O-ring

This one should (in theory - muahahahaha) survive longer. The piston and plunger are one part and the O-ring sits in a groove.

New flux-capacitor

A cheap syringe. This one doesn't have the screw-on option for the tips, but the tapered 'thing' is the same. The tips will fit quite securely, IF the mating surfaces are clean.

Damaged Flux-capacitor

The rubber seal didn't survive the repetitive pull-back of the plunger.

EDSYN FL-22 paste flux

Now this stuff is GOOD. No smoke (at 285°C), stays on the PCB for quite a while, almost no smell at all. And it already comes with a nozzle. No need to buy another one as I did. The nozzle was horrendously overpriced at close to 2$. I totally agree with the verdict of the guys at dangerousprototypes. I did a quick test job (TQFP-32 7x7 package) and it just worked nicely. One 'helping' of flux was enough. I didn't have to constantly re-add flux like in case of the FL-88 dispenser pen.
